People in Dubai don’t like the flintstones, but people in Abu Dhabi do!
What’s a frogs favourite shoe? Open toad
Went to a restaurant in space. Great food, no atmosphere.
What do you call a tree in your hand? A palm tree.
What do you call someone with no body and no nose? Nobody knows!
Thank you

A colleague asked me last week what I like taking pictures of the most.
I said nature and the sky.
These two are the most beautiful things I love taking pictures of the most because I feel they are ever changing and ever stunning.
Sunrise behind a tree.
So simple, yet so stunning and effective.
I really also love puddle reflections
Photography isn’t that hard. You’ve just got to keep practicing and think outside the box.
There was a time where I took 100 photos and only 30 would be passable. But now, I can take 200 and have 150 decent shots.
Like anything, practice makes perfect.

Anything can be a photograph.
When I went to college, and began my training, my tutor told me that you can make anything and everything into a photo. And she wasn’t wrong.
I often find myself notice everything on my travels – I love being able to turn objects, like a light switch and pile of books, into “fill the frame” type images.
But these screws really caught my eye.
Fill the frame is one of my favourite photographic techniques I have learned and mastered over the years of being a photographer.
It’s such a simple technique – just move your camera closer to the object, focus and snap!

No matter what your walk of life is
Or what you wear or what language you speak
We are all humans and have a right to be on this planet
We need to treat others with respect and love
We need to share positivity and praise
So what we waiting for?

Every year, apart from this one, there has been a local run in my city called the Great North Run.
It’s 13.1 miles through Newcastle, ending up in South Shields.
Every year, apart from this one, I go to the starting line, on the observers side of the fence, to watch the run start. There are loads of spectators that are family and friends of people who are running the half marathon, and the atmosphere is wonderful.
There are always celebrities mulling around, either warming up for the run itself, watching or starting the race.
A couple of years ago, Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs was starting the race. I noticed him standing on a podium as the masses of thousands ran passed him, and after about 30-40 minutes of runners over the starting line, he left the caged area and was walking away from the event.
This was my chance.
I ran over to him, asked for a photo 👆🏻 and left!
He was very kind and friendly but it was a short and sweet stop of “hello” / “goodbye”!
He didn’t stop for a conversation with me, and if I had stopped for a conversation, I would have predicted a riot…

Decide what you want in life, and lay down the roots.
If you plant the seeds now, you will plant the foundations for you future.
It’s all about putting in the time now, so that you are available and young enough to watch them grow.
Let your passions and dreams bloom, let your ambitions take shape, but you must act now.
Put the time in now, so that in the future you don’t have to.
Start today.

🎶 So no one told you life was going to be this waayyy 🎶
A couple of years ago, my friend and I went to a Friends Fest.
Could it have BEEN any better?!
There was so much memorabilia, a big screen to watch, food trucks, the sets of the apartments and central perk, dressing up and prop photo opportunities – plus, it was a beautiful sunny day.
It was literally the most memorable and mostly enjoyable day I have had in my life.
I am an absolute hardcore fan of the popular sitcom Friends, watching the whole show at least once a year. I just love how timeless it is!

In photography, light trails are when you can see the pattern that is left from lights.
These can be done using your torch on your phone, a coloured filter over a light source, through a glass for added effects – anything. Although, you will need a camera, or camera equipment that allows you to alter the shutter speed.
A slower shutter speed allows the above effect. I usually have the shutter speed on 10 seconds. Doing so at night, gives a better effect than during the day. If you want lights, nighttime is the time.
Shutter speed of 10 seconds, F11 and iso 100
These will need to be altered, depending on the amount of natural light you have.
Find a dark space, set up your camera and have fun!
You can literally spend hours playing around with these effects!
Have fun!

London is one of my favourite cities in England.
There’s something so compelling about the capital of England: the heritage and history, architecture and buildings, beautiful parks and scenery and of course, the fantastic entertainment!
My sister and I went to London for a mini break a few years ago. On one of the days, we decided to visit the most iconic place in London.
No, no. Not Buckingham palace.
Madame Tussaud’s.
We waited hours and hours to get into the wax work museum. And was it worth it..?
YES!
